Separated at Birth: Jiffy Wild and Zach Wahls?

Zach Wahls, whose poised testimony about the strength of his lesbian-led family during a public forum in the Iowa House of Representatives about banning gay marriage became a viral sensation, was on "The Daily Show" last night promoting his new book, "My Two Moms: Lessons of Love, Strength, and What Makes a Family." As always, he was well-spoken and adorable. But for the first time I realized he could be "Chelsea Lately" writer Jiffy Wild's identical twin. The photos may not adequately show it, but their voices, senses of humor and mannerisms -- and faces -- are shockingly similar. Would love to see Zach stop by Chelsea -- surely she would have to notice, too!

That's an elegant observation that individual uniqueness is a myth.

Both of them are adorable.

Great interview. The whole time, I was watching this guy, Zach, and thinking that he is almost sure to run for a political office, and very likely to win.
